Will JR get voted into the Allstar game by coaches?

We all know that Wade will be the starting SG in the game but after that what? JR is having great impact on games in all ways plus he's on top 3 team in the conference which actually ways into the coaches vote. His main comp IMO is

Joe Johnson
Demarr Derozen
Monta Ellis

I kinda think it's his spot to lose at this point. I was going to put this into the main forum but the mindless hate would have been intense

He wont make it. he's on a loosing team

Melo and Tyson are lock. Jr er..... i doubt it just because he's not coaches favorite. and most coaches out there wont feel comfortable seeing 3 knicks player in the allstar game. they dont love us that much

If Rondo and Wade start, that leaves 3 or 4 out of the 7 bench spots for the following guards:

Paul George (16-7-4. Does everything for Indiana, great defense, and they're leading their division, so they should get one guy in. I would definitely take him over Hibbert who's shooting 40% this year...)

Kyrie (23-4-6. He missed a lot of time but he's that good to get in despite that)

Jrue Holiday (18-4-9. He's missed some time, but he's been "phenomenal" when he's out there).

JR (16-5-3 on the 2nd best team in the East)

DWill (17-3-8. Although he doesn't deserve it, coaches might just be lazy and vote in him based off legacy)

Joe Johnson (17-3-3. I can see him getting in for similar reasons to DWill, although he's been playing better of late)

Kyle Lowry (16-6-6. His team has been bad and he's missed a lot of time, but he deserves to at least be in the conversation imo)

BJ/Monta (BJ: 17-6, Monta: 19-5, both shooting right at 40%. The Bucks have been solid this year, they have an outside shot at getting one of them in)

I'd personally take Kyrie, Jrue Holiday, and Paul George as the first 3 guards (assuming Rondo and Wade start).

After that, I think JR can measure up to DWill, JJ, BJ, Monta if there is a 4th bench spot for guards. But I doubt it since there's a decent amount of good frontcourt players this year (Noah, Deng, Andy V, Bosh, Lopez, Hortford, Josh Smith).

Not sure if he'll make it but he's becoming one of my favorite players to watch. He has a non stop motor and under Woodson is starting to use it on both ends of the floor. He plays with a lot of heart.
